Shin Megami Tensei Law & Chaos Disc is a 2-disc soundtrack album for Shin Megami Tensei on the Super Famicom.[1]

Disc 1 (Law Disc) contains the in-game tracks composed by Tsukasa Masuko, while disc 2 (Chaos Disc) contains arrangements by Tatsuya Nishiwaki. Certain tracks on Disc 1 are updated compared to their in-game versions, such as "Embassy" and "Boss", which are made longer, and in general, the audio mixing is not quite the same as the in-game versions.

The album was remastered in 2017 as the first two discs of the Shin Megami Tensei Rare Soundtrack & Memorial Arrangetacks album included in the "First Press Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Memorial Box" for the Japanese release of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. The soundtrack for the game was re-recorded from an actual console for disc 1 of the Shin Megami Tensei 30th Anniversary Special Sound Compilation album released in 2023, and those recordings were later released on streaming services as Shin Megami Tensei Original Soundtrack (Super Famicom Version).

Booklet

The 46 page booklet included with the CD contains composer comments from Tsukasa Masuko, entries regarding the development of the music taken from Tsukasa Masuko's personal diary, and sheet music for song 16 of disc 1, "Ginza." It also contains additional developer comments from producer Yosuke Niino, scenario director Ryutaro Ito, chief programmer Kouji Okada, and graphic designer Seigo Aihara, as well as a section written by Kazuma Kaneko, credited as Kazuhiro Kaneko, on the creation of the demon sprites for the game.

In addition to the various developer comments, the booklet also contains a short comic by Kazuma Kaneko and Chiaki Ogishima in which Mara, Kazfiel, Law Hero (Yoshio), and Chaos Hero (Waruo), are judges selecting a Demon to be the idol for the game, a short story about Colonel Gotou written by scenario supervisor Kazunari Suzuki with illustrations by Kazuma Kaneko, and a showcase of various Demons and game mechanics.
